Agreed, but there are several who could make it worse...and I believe a couple of those are in the lists I have been seeing.
Yep, I have to agree.

I saw it first hand. He had one big money guy against him. But he had all the money in the world, a team full of top 10 recruiting classes, and the execution all around was comical. He played musical coordinators. And he never seemed to even grasp that his team and staff were woefully underperforming. I used to listen to his press conferences just for the humor of a man being paid millions to be in total denial.
Denial? I disagree. The guy knows how to coach. Texas is a tough place to coach. From the outside looking in, it’s easy. Similar to the things you named but I watched a video with Mack brown a while back talking about how it’s a lot tougher place to coach than what it seems. Constant pressure coming from everywhere...so I can understand Strong’s demeanor.

I think our top 2 are Tagert and Norvell.

He was in a weak league with top recruits and could not win. I have no reason to expect he could win in the toughest division in college football.

He didn’t come into the best situation and changed the culture at Texas. Played a ton of young players and we’ll disagreebut I think Texas could eventually developed into a good team.

**The west is not what it used to be. The SEC is pretty weak overall.

I wouldn’t mind Strong. I think there was a lot going on at Texas when he got there that was out of his hands. At this point, I’m just ready to get it over with, find out what our punishment is, and move on. Sick of the whole thing.

The new coach could be Morris. Tagart reportedly isn't nterested. Supposedly Strong and Norvell failed their vetting. Rumors are Morris is the leader.

Are these rumors coming from the same people who said we would hear from the NCAA over 2 weeks ago?

These rumors are coming from Ben and David on scout.

This^^ I’m going to hold out on what I hear until it’s officially announced. Your input is greatly appreciated though Jim.

I agree. If this much information is floating around we need to find the leak and fix it. The most we should know is a list of candidates and who has interviewed.

Please, please do not settle for Morris! There are a lot more viable candidates including assistants that are better choices.
